I am now inclined to think you are right!  Thank you for that. Would a Signaler in the RFA be described as Gunner on CWGC, or as Signaler.  Something for the Armed Forces Board, perhaps?

Mike in Cumbria,

The only information I have about his rank comes from CWGC, so I assumed Gunner, but I suppose he may have been a signaler in the RFA.  Something else for me to check, then?
Best wishes,
Roli

Niksmum,

Thank you very much for that one.  I've got so many to choose from now!

Mike in Cumbria,

As far as I know he was a Gunner in the 6th (London) Bde. Ammunition Col, RFA, so I don't know.

Best wishes,

Roli

Terry H,

Thanks you very much for those two.  You have managed to despeckle the image superbly, without losing the definition.  Thank you.

Best wishes,

Roli

Mia Cara, Stevew101, Mike in Cumbria,
Thanks very much for your renditions.  I can certainly get a better idea of what the nineteen year old looked like in his uniform now.  Thanks again,

Roli

I have recently obtained this image from a memorial card of a relative killed in France in 1915.  I would be grateful if some contributor could kindly enhance it, and possibly colour?

Best wishes,

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Signature of Bride and as a Witness

Hi,

Thank you for your thoughts on this.  I was, of course, hoping the two were actually the same person but I am now persuaded they are not.  My cousin and I have been trying to find something on our 4x great grandfather for about 5 years now. Ho hum, back to the drawing board!

Thanks for your help.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Signature of Bride and as a Witness -completed
« on: Saturday 23 July 11 16:01 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I have come across the marriage entry for what might be my 4x Greatgrandparents, in Rettendon, Essex 1802.

I have also come across a marriage in Ramsden Bellhouse, Essex 1811, where it appears that a person with the same name is a witness.

To me, apart from the spelling, both names seem written similarly, which could mean they are one and the same peson.  I would be grateful for your views.

Thanks,

Roli
